摘要：

We report a patient with inflammatory myoblastic tumor of the uterus with constitutional symptoms. Surgical excision was curative and brought a rapid normalization in the elevated serum level of interleukin-6. We revealed an overproduction of interleukin-6 by a detection of messenger RNA by use of reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction and immunohistochemistry.
